b0047.gifSilver is an element that is shiny metal which is valued for its attractive look and electrical conductivity. Sliver is great for many things including jewelry etc.(for more uses go to the page in my contents titled : Uses) , Silver is in the Group Ib Period 5 of the periodic table, between copper (Period 4) and gold (Period 6). It's physical and chemical properties are between the two.
Fun facts:
Silver also has the highest electrical conductivity of any element and the highest thermal conductivity of any metal.
Silver ions have been used to purify drinking water and swimming pool water for generations.
